The process is highly efficient, with a return efficiency of up to 75 %. This means that for every four units of electricity put into the system, three can be recovered. This high efficiency is a major advantage over other forms of energy storage, such as batteries, which typically have a return efficiency of around 80\u201390 %, but degrade over time and require expensive materials.
